Bugatti Veyron Targa Scheduled for 2009

anyone imagine driving 400 km/h with no top over you? :)

Frightening ! , also imagine if an insect popped in at that speed lol

I dont think this one will hit 400 kph.. Its much less aerodynamic.. Moreover, it looks rubbish..

lol Bugatti's got the plot wrong: i want a wind in my hair experience, not a head shredding, edge of your seat experience.

ahh... i bet they'll have to have the roof down to even go that speed... like they'll have some sort of separate key that will only work with the roof down and another key with the roof on?? i mean they already have 2-3 different keys for this car... high speed key, track day key... and normal cruising key... something like that

Come on guys! A veyron targa will be as horrible as a SLR Roadster. What's the point in having it? Lambo tried it once with the Murcielago and it wouldn't do more than 100 mph with the roof in its place... It really will be a waste of precious efforts and will consume the remaining sources to build the utterly brilliant Veyron coupe's. Scrap this project VW!

wow looks great! much better than the regular version!

That 'boat' in the background you get for half as much of the Bugattis cost...

really shows how fat the Veyron's ass is- not very balanced or elegant : ( the point of a convertible is wind in the hair cruising, I don't think the Veyron will do this aswell as an Azure

I seriously can't find anything interesting in a Bugatti, look at it! pure rubbish! A McLaren F1 LM would be better, thank you!

is that wine red? looks awesome

The problem with bringing back a legendary name is that it is hard to interpret 60 years of missing design evolution. The original Bugattis were extremely light and refined looking for their day. They have to put the horse collar grille on these cars because that is the last distinguishing feature of this marque. When you raise the rest of the car to meet the grille it looks ponderous. The broken roof line of the targa amplifies this effect, at least to my eye. I'm sure that driving this piece of unobtanium is an awe inspiring experience. Few cars would gather more looks. I'm just not sure that pices of several Corrado engines strung together driving these proportions truly justify being called a Bugatti.

Still worthless in my Opinion. Yea it does 400kmph with ease...but why 4 turbos. 2 T04Rs are enough.

hmmm i dont think that it looks right... basically what they hav done is gona ??hmm i thnk that we should have a drop top, lets just get chop off a section of da roof and it will look gr8?? wrong it doesnt!

Thing is also whats the depreciation like on something like that?? , if a vauxhall / opel omega used to be around ??200 per week whats this going to be worth? I really think in times where money is getting tighter , these luxury cars are only worth what someone will pay for it .

is it me or does it look like two cars joined togather? just doesnt look right....

No, Bremen_Koeniggs, its worthless because the Buggatti is an exercise in extreme excessiveness. others cars with much less engine can accomplish the same top speed, and beat it around a track all the while weighing 1000lbs. less. Koeniggsegg CCX being one. When the Buggati is going that fast it also burns a substantial amount more gas as well as shredding its tires faster due to engine size and weight respectively, Point being other 250~mph supercars can go longer as well. Sure the Buggati has a very nice interior and amennities and all that crap...but i dont care. Its main point was top speed and its no longer the fastest car in the world.

No, Bremen, to whoever likes excessive cars thats cool, to each their own. The point is to do what it needed it didnt NEED all of what it has. As for aerodynamics i never said it doesnt have very good aerodynamics, it probably does. It is a technological marvel but that doesnt mean to much, not to me. You're right, it is progress, but not all of us care for some aspects of technological evolution in cars. As for weight, you're right, but it would be foolish to think an extra 1000lbs on a car isn't gonna pay a certain toll on tires. Lastly, one of the main points of the Veyron was to be its top speed, however before they could go and get a certified top speed, the SSC took that honor with 254.3~mph test on a public roadway driven by a 60+ year old. Point being, Top Speed while not being the Veyrons only attribute was to be probably its greatest or at least most publicity garnering and it was edged out, if not beaten. For such a fat car, i kno it has capable handling, but i still question its track ability at least in terms of Fuel and Tire wear. But to be Fair, given how much stress the CCX will put on its tires, it wont burn them that much slower, but there is probably a decent margin. I do not hate on other ppls taste, i was too harsh sayings its worthless, stupid of me, its a 1Million $ + car, i just meant it holds no interest to me. Everybody has their own tastes mechanically speaking when it comes to car, and thats cool, really, but it doesnt do it for me. Very sexy car, but its excessiveness just leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Even if i was given one, i'ld sell it and by a couple less expensive cars. Sorry to run on, but i wanted to be clear.

I kno its 4WD, and obviously it helps acceleration, facts of life. However, i like racing and motorsports. Another problem with the Veyron is that it could never used for any form of motorsports. for all the reasons ive previously stated. And no, i didnt forget the top speed limiter, going beyond 400mph would destroy the tires EXTREMELY quickly meaning, they could go at any second. And if they went, all the technology in the world would save the driver from certain death. I know alot about the Veyron, not just a hater talking shit. As i said, i kno all about the things that make it great and because of its few weaknesses, it doesnt do anything for me, whatsoever. Far too many better all around machines to be had.

I dont care what people say, and i never knocked anybody who does like it, in fact i did the opposite. People can hate on me all they want. Freedom of speech = freedom of opinion.
